The stomachal contents, consisting of bacon, cabbage, and cider, were evacuated.

Shortly after the reception of the injury, an old soldier sewed up the wound with an awl, needle, and wax-thread; Archer did not see the patient until forty-eight hours afterward, at which time he cleansed and dressed the wound.

After a somewhat protracted illness the patient recovered, notwithstanding the extent of injury and the primitive mode of treatment.
Travers mentions the case of a woman of fifty-three who, with suicidal intent, divided her abdominal parietes below the navel with a razor, wounding the stomach in two places.

Through the wound protruded the greater part of the larger curvature of the stomach; the arch of the colon and the entire greater omentum were both strangulated.

A small portion of the coats of the stomach, including the wound, was nipped up, a silk ligature tied about it, and the entrails replaced.
